IBankCoin Internet Trends in 2013

As owner of a small, local, neighborhood internet shoppe, I am able to see trends, as they develop, in real time. Throughout the years our traffic has steadily increased, only because we’ve been able to adapt with change. Many of my peer bloggers fell by the wayside into dark pits of black matter because they were dinosaurs; and now they’re extinct.

iBankCoin will last for a thousand years–because we are malleable and true innovators in the game of bloggery. In the year 3013, I imagine “The Fly XXIII” will preside over these internets and rain terror upon space aged plebeians who attempt to “snatch his swag.” Everything changes, but in a way, nothing changes– if you know what I mean.

Back to my central point. Have a look at some trends for 2013.

People aren’t using the computer as much as they used to. As a result, search referrals dropped sharply in 2013, meaning people weren’t looking up “Fly ibankcoin” as much as they were in previous years.

Our top referrers were Twitter, via the extension we use on Twitter, and StockTwits.
Referrals

As you can imagine, our social networking revolves around Twitter, with very little traffic coming from other venues.
Social

The browser wars are being won by Google, via Chrome. The largest drop off is from Firefox, mostly due to the fact that they’ve been sucking really hard in recent years. It’s worth noting our biggest growth is coming from our iPhone app. We just added an Android app, so that data isn’t represented here.
Browser
The game is being played via mobile, so get with the program antiquated blogger guys. We enjoyed decent growth in Apple products, but a 4 fold increase in Android traffic. Hence, we built an Android app to fulfill the demand.
Mobile

Blackberry is non-existent. Going to zero.

    2013 was a good stock market year.
    A plunging market equals more hits from what I recall.
    When Fly does politics speak the comments fill up fast as do the hits (I think).

    Matt_Bear in regards to your earlier comment..I believe that many pros sell 50% at resistance and the rest 3% above that to wash out the trend followers…3% of 1755ish is 52.65ish, so right on the money

    Dr. Fly, thanks for posting this information, as these results you collected are probably similar to what other websites are learning about web trends for this year. Apple’s results show some market saturation while Samsung clearly is gaining market share.

    How does one interpret the first table? I’m stupid so I don’t understand: what’s in the three columns and what the percent changes in the headers mean.

    Please ban Aye Cap. He’s gross and his mind is in the gutter, not the market.

    Sir Fly,
    It appears Aye Cap has had too much to drink. Could you please have your butler escort him out?

    The first table is search engine keyword searches, mostly done on desktop.

    I read this as people are connecting more directly to site, via app or twitter/ stock twits, and less reliant upon desktop.

      API data tonight, which has to be a typo, that drawdown in inventory makes no sense at all.
